    Playa Grande – Cabo San Lucas

     During my recent trip to Cabo San Lucas, I fell in love with a gorgeous resort called Playa Grande. Playa Grande is a rather large, upscale resort & spa located directly between the Pacific Ocean and the Sea of Cortez.  The views from the "Ridge" section were breathtaking! The very cool infinity pool on the Ridge afforded a view of both waters at the same time, with the Sea and marina on one side, and the Pacific Ocean and beach on the other.  Playa Grande

    An OpenSource Solution to Yahoo Groups?

    As you may know, I’ve been working for quite some time on putting together some sites using open source technologies. I started this site on Mambo, moved it Joomla, and am now using Gallery, extCal, and some others to make everything work. I’ve also got a couple of other sites going, including www.friendsofaclc.com and a site for Loren’s Ultimate Frisbee team, which is a major work in progress and isn’t quite presentable yet. (if you really want to see it – it’s currently at www.jenndiesi.com/darkmeatultimate.)

    Mapping the Music Genome?

    Check out Pandora, a small start-up who’s been working to find a way to bring you music that you’ll like.  Pandora analyzes everything that makes up a song and uses that information to create "stations" based on what it thinks you’ll like.  After setting up some stations, and telling it which songs I liked and didn’t like, it did a pretty good job of finding music that I’d like.  It reminded me of Tivo’s thumbs up/thumbs down functionality.
